Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008141855A1] The invention relates to a method for displaying directional information corresponding to location information provided on a traffic sign that is associated with a section of a route following a current section of said route. If multiple pieces of information regarding the next route section are present, the display of directional information is preferably based on the information having the greatest frequency for the route sections following the next route section. The invention further relates to an arrangement for conducting said method. With the features of the independent claims, the invention advantageously facilitates the orientation of the driver of a vehicle in a road system. To this end, the amount of location information to be displayed as a component of the directional information is reduced; said amount of information remains constant throughout the further progression of the route for a plurality of sequential route sections, allowing directional instructions to remain the same as well. Thus, the overflow of information to the user is stemmed. Moreover, the user is able to orient him- or herself in an advantageous fashion with reference to location information that remains constant at least in segments, which represents a considerable simplification.
